P.S. Why are skylines so cheap? How would they do against say a 2002 WRX? or a Camaro Z-28?

Skylines arent that cheap mate...depends what model and what mods/condition

Stock vs stock (r33 vs wrx2002)

would be close, not sure on 1/4 mile times for the wrx

But a R33 GTS-t stock does the quarter in low 14's

And camaros just suck in my opinion lol...

Ah, they're a different hand drive to all the other cars you'll find in America. Dunno if you'd need a special permit or what to drive it, but it would be a little odd. And from what i heard they aren't easy to come by in the US, specially not in LHD (left hand drive) form...

there are ways to get it Rhd over there say if was to be of track use only, i think there are some states over there that allow it?? but not if you live in calie, i thing the main problem with the price is no one over there is willing to give over 3 versions of the make/model to be used to crash test. that motorex are the only ones proven to put a registered skyline in your drive way in the USA. if you havent looked at there website then to have a r33 gts-t registered in the USA from this crowd will set you back $80000 US dollars or to get them to do the swap and register is around the $15000 to $20000 us dollar mark. if you have the $$ then Sh*t get one other wise buy a house!!

      I don't know, I've never done it that way, but 1. While it is an interference engine, there is still clearance between the valves and the piston at all points in the regular timing cycle 2. There is not a lot of distance before you can't catch the top of the valve stem any more I don't know if 2 is greater or less than 1. But 3. If it doesn't work out you are f**ked, engine is coming out to disassemble so it is a big bet.

      Semi slicks are horrible for road use, just use a high performance road tyre unless you really need the maximum grip. Noisy, unpredictable (amazing, until they are not), expensive due to very high wear and not good in cold and particular wet. And yes, it is a thing to store cars on stands instead of tyres if you know they are going to be parked up long term.....but who ever realises that a short park is going to stretch into years before it is out again!

      I know in Australia you'll definitely get above 30c. Parked in the shade in Summer you'll be above that. 馃槢 But in cooler climates, you might get that warm driving on the highway for a bit, but you'd never get to full heat temp. I'll try and find some of my historical tyre temps between Aus summer and winter (be aware immin the warmer area of Aus too.)

      I get that taking off the head is best but that's a bit much for "just" valve seals. I was just under the impression that one would be able to rotate to TDC and be able to temporarily drop the valve without losing it and effectively having to remove the head to then recover it. I never knew people actually pushed rope into the cylinder to do valve seals hahaha So just to confirm, just going to TDC will not work? In that case I know when I do valve seals I'll maybe just remove the head and do some other things while I'm there, or just wait until I do an engine build.
